Bali Travel Forum

Hi,

Did some research and basically, we like to visit some temples, rice fields, lakes and volcanoes. We also like so see the various beach spots , especially large surfs and nice views. We like to see more nature.

We like to visit the following places, but they are all over the island and i cant seem to fit them into my scheule.

I would really appreciate some advise on how best to do this. I'm also open to options to remove some places or add in "similar" places which may be more along the way.


Day 1 : Arriving airport at 1230. Heading to amed , planning to arrive in evening.

Day 6 : From Legian area to ubud (full day sightseeing )

Day 7 : From ubud to airport, arriving airport by 3.30pm

Roughly, i was thinking :

Day 1 :
Berkasih
Kerta gosa, klungkung
Ulu Danu, Lake Berutan

Day 6 :

Tanah Lot
Uluwatah temple
Kintamani, lake batur- mount batur crater ?
Goa gajah
Sideman road,
Jatiluwuh rice field

Day 7 :
Gunung Kawi
Ubud city and market

Is it possible to fit the below into anywhere or i should just skip them ?
Mengwi road temple- Taman Ayun
Pura Batukau, Lake Batukau, Gunung Batukaru


Is it possible to get to the crater without hiking ?

Really appreciate your advice and many thanks !

Thanks!

Hi,

My sister has got married recently. I want to gift her a honeymoon package@Bali as her wedding gift this October. I was looking at lot of villas and hotels and totally lost as to which one is the best. Please help me to find the most romantic and the best hotel/villa in Bali which has a private pool if possible which has also a beach view. Something heavenly...out of the world...at the same time the service and cleanliness should be excellent.
Also, it should provide some good vegetarian food. I want it to be the most memorable time in her life.

Thanks so much in advance

Just wondering if I can use Amex travelers checks when purchasing a 30 day VOA. Can I pay for 2 together or do you have to do each visa as a separate transaction? Thanks for the help!

Hiya
Just wondering if anyone knows of cottage/bungalow accommodation in the Kuta/Tuban/Legian area other than Inna Kuta Beach and Mandira. We need it to be able to sleep 3 also. thanks in advance ...Judi

We've never been to Nusa Lembongan , but given that I don't surf and won't be doing any serious diving, is it a worthwhile destination for a beach bum? And where should we stay? Prefer downmarket, but on/near the beach. And getting there from Bali? Boat from Sanur? Any recommendations for a company making the trip? Booking boats? Or is private charter economical for 2 people?

Later this year during ou holiday in Bali we intend a few daytrips to Lake Batur and Lake Batur.
Being disabled (wheelchairuser) we are looking for some restaurants in that area for lunch wich are accessible(no stairs) and with suitable toilets.
Preferably with view on the lake and no buffet type.
Any suggestions are welcome.

During our coming holiday in Bali (Nusa Dua area) we intend to rent a car with driver to make 2 daytrips : Lake Batur and Lake Bratan.
I am searching on info regarding the nicest/most beautiful roads to these places (through padis).
Info on restaurants for lunch in those areas.
Info on other places to visit during these trips
Being disabled (wheelchairuser) walking is out of the question

Hi,

This December i am planning for a trip for the family to Bali. Was surfing around for accommodation and came across Vacation Villas that comes with cook, maid, driver etc.

Seems to be a good deal compared to what i need to pay for 2 room at a reasonable hotel. The villas that i am eying at is this one http://www.balivillas.com/villas/dhyan/index.html booking through Balivillas.com.

Anyone has experience with them and is staying in a vacation villas worth it?

Cheers

Hi There,

Can anyone advise if there is any place in Bali where there is good quality leather bags, shoes, sandals etc. They do not need to be a copy of something, just good leather. Thankyou.

Hi
Can anyone please help me. My partner and I are going to Bali in October for 4 nights. We are not sure on which hotel to stay at. Can anyone give us there feedback on any of the following hotels.

Green Garden Hotel in Tuban
Ramada Bintang in Tuban
Poppies Bali in Kuta

We are looking for a clean hotel that is quiet and has good facilities.

Thank you in advance

Later this year i will spent with my wife my holiday in Bali (Nusa Dua Area).
As I prefer to eat outside the hotel but being disabled (wheelchairuser) I am looking for some restaurants in the Nusa Dua area which I can reach by wheelchair.
Somebody told me there are restaurants in the Benoa area which pick up potential clients from the hotel if dining in their restaurant.
Suggestions/names?

First time visitors to Bali, a little excited and little worried. We are staying in Nusa Dua, would love to know where to have dinner and what we should really see. Not all that interested in the rif raf, just want to do the nicer things. Appreciate any feedback, thankyou.

I am doing a assignment at school about travelling to Indonesia, I was wondering what is the best time of the year to go to Bali?

Hi All,
My family and I are going to Bali in September. We will be staying in Seminyak Suites at Bali Reski Asih, Jalan Sari Dewi No.9. It seems that they are many resorts with the same name - Seminyak Suites but I could not find the details for this particular resort.

Anyone knows or stayed there before? How is this resort? Kids friendly and etc.

Appreciate for your info on this resort. Any advice? Tq.

Hi All

This will be my second time to Bali. Had stayed in Kuta area during my first visit and I planned to stay in Ubud this time.

I have shortlisted a few hotel within my budget of below USD 100. Can someone tell me which is better and if they are close to town. Or if you have suggestions of hotel within my budget.

- d'Omah hotel Bali
- Biyukukung Suites and Spa
- Pertiwi Resort & Spa

One important factor (may sound silly for tropical country) is that the hotel must not be mozzie infested. My hubby attracts mozzies easily (dunno why, he can get bitten like 10 times and I get nothing) and he gets very irritated if the hotel is infested by them. Repellent doesn't help much.

I will also be doing a bicycle trip and would like to have some other ideas of what else I can do in Ubud and Bali. I have been to the usual places like Tanah Lot, Kitamani and won't be visiting them again.

Many thanks in advance!

My girlfriend & I are going to Bali for the 1st time this November. It will be a relatively short visit of 8 nights.

Apart from a bit of sightseeing (Ubud is drawing me!), we just want small, low-key & simple accommodation in the least commercialised area, on or walking distance to a beach.

Is this possible? The coast seems to be full of resorts only. Is there anywhere more intimate?

I have heard the west coast is less busy. Does anyone know of a little gem somewhere?

Thanks for any help.
